The ETect Of Music.

once heard mother, who was obliged
to do literary work with her little chill
dren around her, say thing that set me
thinking Of the different effects of pleas
ant and unpleasant sounds. She said
81 never notice the clildren's noise so
long as they rcmp and laugh and frolic
in a good natured way, not if they take
the roof off, but if they quarrel or fret in
q whisper, it disturbs me so that can
not do anything. Many great philoso-
pliers and famous physicians have writ
ten and spoken of the good effects OF
music on human brains and nerves.
Pythagoras, a wise heathen who lived
in Greece more than 1900 years ago,
suggested that music should be used in
treating certain diseases; and Pindar, the
famous Greek poet, whose songs so
touched the heart of Alexander the
Great that the conqueror spared the
poets house when lie sacked and
destroyed the city of Thebes, where It
stood, relates in one Of bis odes that the
father OF medicine, -AEsculapius, so
treated some Of his patients; and the
great and good PineI, who sixty years
ago in Paris, by his writings and earnest
labors, brought about grand reforIna-
ton in the methods of treating the in
sane, so that the old, barbarous ways of
managing these helpless and unfortunate
beings were changed into something like
humane and kind, and even tender at
tentions, recommends music to calm and
soothe their frenzy, asit calls up pleasant
recollections and brings sweet impressions
to the diseased mind. To-day concerts
are standard treatment in asyInms for
the insane, and it has been noticed that
they are affected in different ways, ac-
cording to the character Of the music and
the peculiar nature Of their disease.

USE OF MECHANICAL REMEDIES.
Colds and Cr0up-Hand Baths-aEustard
Draughts-Cold Feet-Pneumonia.


Draughts-Cold Feet-pneumonia.
AT this season coughs. colds and con-
gestions of various sorts are to be looked
for. II the blood can be drawn away
from the parts congested, relief win at
once be afforded. A warm woolen shawl
pinned closely about the neck and chest,
covering the arms, if put on when the
first sound Of the cough occurs. viii al
most infalibly stop it at once. Supple
ment the shawl with a warm brick or
soapstone at the feet, and relief is imme-
diate and often permanent. Twenty-Five
years ago what nights we spent fighting
the croupi The little sufferer would
throw his arms out from under the cover,
and then the cough tightened. But en-
vel0ped in a shawl this was impossible,
and at last we learned that in cool
weather the children should take their
airing always before sunset, and at the
first suggestion of cough put on
shawl. For twenty years there has been
no Group in the family. This remedy we
have found just as effective with adults
as with children.
Hot foot baths and hot hand baths are
excellent alternatives of the circulation.
The hand baths act more Immediately
than the foot baths, and there is less
danger from after exposure. They are,
too, more easily given. Mustard draughts
(mild) applied TO the extremities change
the circulation. Flannels wrung from
hot soda water are extremely helpful in
many cases. Or, if saturated with soda
water, they may be heated by putting
them in a steamer, by placing them on a
plate in a hot oven. This saves wiring
ing them, which is difficult when they
are hot. Great relief is sometimes found
from drinking freely water as hot as can
be comfortably swallowed. 1t draws the
blood to the stomach, opens the pores and
washes out the clogged sewers of the
body. We have observed that a patient
suffering from cough will have rest
from it after a hearty meal. The blood
is summoned to the work of digestion
and the lungs are relieved.
Those who suffer from sleeplessness or
from not sleeping soundly will find help
from wrapping their feet warmly in
flannel and putting to them q warm
soapstone. Those who must get up in
the night to see to children or invalids
should have pair of night shoes to slip
their feet into, so thai when they lie
down again cold feet shall not prevent
their falling at once to sleep. AS warn
ing of what not to do we give the follow
ing, which came under our observation
last winter: A little Irish boy, very i'll
with pneumonia and burning with fever,
begged his mother to put his feet into
cold water, which she did and in few
minutes thereafter he ceased to breathe.
Happily for her, she yet does not know
how fatal was her indulgence to her only
boy. Tribune.

In Senate and in House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Senate:-Mr.
HOar, from the committee on privileges
and elections, presented report In the
West Virginia case. He said that the re-
port was unanimous. The questions
raised were very simple ones. and they
were easily oompre hended. One OF them
had been long ago determined by the
senate and he supposed that all the
senators had had occasion to reflect on
the other. 10 order that the senator en-
titled 10 seat might enter at once upon
his duties, he hoped there would be
no objection to having the re-
port disposed of at present. The
report was read at length.
Ii concludes with two resolutions; one
declaring that Daniel II Lucas ia not
entitled 20 a seat, and the other dpclar-
Ing shat Chss. j. Faulkner has been duly
elected senator from the state OF West
Virginia for the term OF six years, COM
mencing the 4th of March 1887 and Ia en-
titled 10 his seat IN the senate as
such senator. The resolutions were
agreed to viva voce, and the oath of Of
flee was thereupOn administered TO Mr..
Faulkner. Mr.. HOar then moved that
MIR. Faulkner be assigned TO the COM
mittee on claims for the district OF Col

secretary.
Col. II. b. Andrews, is an old railroad
man and knows what he Ia talking
sbout. He spoke OF the discrimination

tiOn was made TO the proper authorities
this would be altered, and Texas could
get the same privileges hs was accorded
to California.
Mr.. Weiss moved the election of three

mittee to collect delegates expense
money, and Mr.. C. L. Dignowity and
Dr. G. b. johnson were appointed as
such committee, Mr.. Weiss being made

with commissioner of imm grafton and a pc
ttiOu to the legislature to be sent to this eff
feet; and also recommending the amendment

stitutiOn,
Which was adopted. Then Mr.. Al
eIsnder made the following resolution
which was also carried.
